Livonia residents in Michigan now have the convenience of being able to drop off their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Electronic Waste (E-WASTE) year-round. The drop-off location is ERG Environmental Services (ERG), which is situated on the east side of Merriman Road, just north of Industrial Drive. The facility operates from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To ensure that only Livonia residents are utilizing the service, individuals delivering waste items will be requested to provide proof of City of Livonia residency. Additionally, the cost for drop-off is $5 for every 100 pounds. For weights exceeding 100 pounds, residents will pay an additional charge of 75 cents per pound.

In order to maintain safety and adhere to social distancing guidelines, ERG has implemented a no-touch receiving protocol. This allows employees to safely receive HHW from residents while minimizing physical contact. Detailed instructions regarding drop-off procedures are prominently displayed on the receiving door for residents to read and follow.

For any further inquiries or information, residents are encouraged to visit the ERG website or contact the City of Livonia Department of Public Works at (734) 466-2655.

Livonia's commitment to proper waste disposal extends beyond just HHW and E-WASTE. The city also provides a comprehensive list of accepted items on their Household Hazardous Waste page. This ensures that residents are well-informed about the types of waste materials that can be dropped off at the ERG facility.

The availability of year-round HHW and E-WASTE drop-off services in Livonia is a significant development for the community. It offers residents a convenient and responsible way to dispose of hazardous materials, while also contributing to the overall environmental well-being of the city.

As stated by the Livonia Department of Public Works, "We are pleased to be able to provide this service to our residents throughout the year. It is essential that we properly dispose of hazardous waste to protect our environment and ensure the safety of our community."
